ii. NoBo has numerous meanings
1. North of Bagota. A great location deserves a great nickname. North of Bagota =
NoBo…like Soho, Tribeca, DUMBO, NoMad (North of Madison)
2. No Boundaries. In order to produce great food, you need love. Often that’s the missing
ingredient between good food and great food. We believe that great food, like great
love, knows no boundaries.
3. Ein gevulot. There’s a concept in hasidut and kabbalah of breaking the vessels, shevirat
hakeylim. When we break forth into the world, we clear the decks, with a fresh start.
That’s what NoBo is all about. Something new, something fresh, something that will
make an impact. Ein gevulot in Hebrew is No Boundaries = NoBo.
